Nana Nene Wants Us To Meet Her Adorable “Secret Granddaugter” Bri’asia

August 22nd, 2012 - By Brande Victorian

You can always tell when the next season of a show is about to debut because the cast members start revealing all sorts of personal things about themselves. Judging from Nene’s feature in “In Touch” magazine, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” must be close to debuting at least the cast for season 5, because the most outspoken woman on the show has just revealed that she has a “secret granddaughter” no one knew about.

The 2-month-old baby girl, Bri’asia, is the daughter of Nene’s son Bryson, 22, and his girlfriend, Ashley Hill, 21. As shocked as we are to find out the 44-year-old reality TV star and actress is a grandmother, no one is more surprised than she was when she found out she was going to have that new label.

“I only found out about everything because I ran into Ashley when she was more than six months along,” she told “In Touch” in an exclusive interview. “I said, ‘You look pregnant.’ And she said, ‘Hasn’t Bryson told you?’ But he hadn’t because he knew that I wouldn’t approve of him having a child so young.”

Lawd, what is Nene going to do with that child. The new grandmother added:

“I didn’t feel like [Bryson] was ready for such a big responsibility. I was his age when I had him, so I know how tough it is. I didn’t want him to make the same mistakes that I did. I needed to let it sink in.”

Once she saw her little granddaugter’s sweet face it all did.

I always wanted to have a girl,” she said, “and now I have one! She’s just adorable.”

Though Nene and her son can relate to the difficulty of being a young parent, one thing Bryson and his girlfriend won’t have to experience is the financial hardships that come with unexpected pregnancies in your early twenties. As Nene told it:

“I paid for everything in the nursery: the clothing, the diapers. I don’t want her to feel strapped,” she said.  And of course,  the baby is fancy like her grandma with “little dresses, sparkly headbands, and Gucci shoes”…We just love her,” Nene added.

That’s one lucky little bundle of joy.

  • MsSunshyne77

    How long will it be before we read about him stealing diapers from Wal-Mart?

  • Amija James

    Sorry, her son is such a loser! He can’t even take care of himself much less a baby. Ugghhhh!

  • WhoMe

    Cutie pie. Ok im sorry but whats up with the punctuation marks in the name? I dont get it

    • FromUR2UB

      Me either. All the letters are there. There’s no emphasis on the first syllable. People think it makes a name look cool or exotic, but it really just makes them seem stupid because they don’t understand what purpose an apostrophe serves. Sweet baby with a contrived name.

    Congrads Ne-Ne & Bryson an lets not forget the mother…..I don’t think Bryson is no different from other yong men trying to find their way!!!!! We all have had a little difficulty in rasising children some find they way other don’t…..I pray that they stick together and support one of another through love, decisions, & financial hardships…..Family no matter if their not what we expected…but at the end of the day it’s family…Good luck to u all……

  • realadulttalk

    All these cute little babies make me want to have another. Ok–I’m over that feeling. I hope Bryson finally grows up–but it’s not likely considering momma’s already footing the bill for what should be his responsibility.

  • Papillon

    Cute baby, ridiculous name.

    Hope Nene’s son will finally grow up and stay out of jail.

  • guest

    Beautiful baby.

  • Yay!

    Sooo cute. Hopefully that cutey-totey will work her magic and get her granny to humble herself.
